Greetings fellow humanoids and 'others' (you know who you are : )
Hope yer having a great summer so far. I've been broiling in the Sonoran desert sun — but because I'm half lizard it hasn't been too bad....
Things have started to open up around here again and I found two great public libraries near me I can digital paint and sketch at — and at long last check what I post on other computers there. I hadn't been trusting my desk-top at home and did find that it was not good to try and do color correction etc on it.
One library window looks out on a riparian preserve and so as I work I can sit and watch people fishing and see all kinds of wild-life like ducks and heron etc. At the other library I found a window that looks out on an area that has all kinds of birds and little squirrels who spend the day digging and chasing each other around. It's been pretty cool.
------------------------------
Anywho — here's some of the latest — straight out of Krita on my lap-top (and one older one I'd color corrected and 'leveled' on my desktop but am also posting straighht outa the software). I'll check the library computers to see which one I like best and am hoping the one I'm posting now will look more like the original).
------------------------------
*Edit: Forgot to add something. Met a dood recently who is into wood carving and it got me interested in digging out my tools and doing a bit of it myself. I took a branch from a tree I'd cut back and carved the head I'm calling 'Ancient One' in two sittings. It's approximately 5 inches long....
